I've got a beard and sideburns.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Ohhhh...I get it.

/rocked a p[size=4]orn[/size] star moustache for like, a week this year

It was pretty sweet...I had a 'fro and even grew out the sideburns for a little bit. I looked like Shaft.[/QUOTE]

Shaft = #1 action hero ever.

Come on people, I need a movie to watch with a girl. That means no action movies. Everything else is game though. I also doubt she'd appreciate the Big Lebowski.

flippedout198: i am now going to make you envy me
Viking Vs Pirate: How?
flippedout198: by telling you that i make 9.60 per hour for playing board games and doing homework
Viking Vs Pirate: You fag
flippedout198: 8.5 hours a day, 5 days a week
Viking Vs Pirate: I hope a kid drowns while you're oin shift
flippedout198: hey if people come then we lifeguard
flippedout198: but they didnt todya

I want to be a lifegaurd.

My friend is doing it this summer, but it's so boring I'm not sure if it was worth it. Also he's only making 8$, not 9.60$.

Everyone watch out for the Metallica song that is going to be posted here in a few days. Here is the lineup, in case you didn't know.

Bass - Metal_Head_617
Lead Guitars - R. Blythe
Drums - Sliptallica
Rhythm Guitars/Vocals - Chu

We are going to start off with "Seek and Destroy", but we are going to hopefully do harder songs after that. We figured that this was a good way to start off. Wish us luck.

I hate that song, but it's actually addicting to play on guitar.

The Shawshank Redemption
Office Space
Animal House...

Uh...I dunno. It depends on the girl, really.

[QUOTE=Kage]I hate that song, but it's actually addicting to play on guitar.[/QUOTE]
I never thought of it as addicting, but that is a good way to put it.

The chugging parts aren't that great, but the very beginning on guitar is fun. And the solo is fun as well, though pretty easy. Also, the prechorus and transition into the chorus are fun riffs.

Sounds fun. Good luck :thumb:

I think the chugging parts at the end are actually the most fun. It fun to play simple riffs and headbang your *** off every once in a while.

Garden State is a good movie, yes. I didn't like how everyone at my uni was creaming themselves over it because "OMG DIS MOVIE SPOKE 2 ME." I mean, yeah, it was a great movie... but it didn't parallel my life in any way.

I should be so lucky, though.

Meet the Parents/Meet the Fockers would be another healthy choice, I'd say.

I've been contacting bands through various ads I found on Craigs List.

I just sent an email to a jam band looking for a lead guitarist.

[QUOTE=LarsAgi007]I wish you the best of luck, I will have to post up a copy of my band playing it sometime!

Are you going for all real instruments, or are parts midi?[/QUOTE]
They are all going to be real, no fake crap.

/pokes Joe with a stick

Uh-oh, Joe's on his way to another banning.

Also, I take back anything bad I've said about The Roots. Talk about a band growing on you.

Also, refl at ATM...we said basically the same thing in the The Jeffersons thread.

Which album is changing your mind?

And regarding The Jeffersons, it's just the truth ;)

I just started re-listening to Phrenology and Things Fall Apart.

Also, I listened to a few tracks of The Tipping Point at a friend's house and those were pretty d[size=2]amn good[/size].

Anyone here seen Gridlock'd? I just watched it again. The performance at the end is really pretty good.

Speeking of things that are really pretty good, The Kids Are Alright is a fantastic Dvd.

Did you guys download the Kings of Convenience I posted?

I promise you will like it.

**** man, I just saw one of the reasons why investigative journalists need to die. I'm serious. I would happily watch one of the people they harass pull out a gun and shoot the bastards. The reason?

They were doing an expose on the Jehovah's Witnesses. Basically, they claimed every single JW was either a child molester, or had been abused by a child molester. They also twisted pretty much every single word that one of the Elders said, to make him look like a monster. For example (Note: This same show did a piece on the evil of gays about 2 weeks ago):

Reporter: "You said he was a homosexual".
Elder: "No, I said by being molested, he had been part of a homosexual act".
Reporter: "Being homosexual isn't a bad thing".
Elder: "For other people, but our religion doesn't allow it."
Reporter: "It wasn't a homosexual act anyway, it was molestation. He was being molested."
Elder: "But I am not claiming he is a homosexual, I am stating he was part of a homosexual act. Therefore, he needs to be cleansed to come back to the congregation."
Reporter: "Other [i]mainstream[/i] religions allow homosexuality".

The man's response was then cut off, so that the obvious response of "name one mainstream religion that allows it" wasn't aired. Instead we get the reporter stating by himself, "Obviously, the Jehovah's Witness church is corrupt, as they willingly allow children to be molested."

A bit later, we had this delightful monologue by the reporter.

"The 60, 000 Jehovah's in Australia believe they are a seperate people. They don't vote, don't celebrate birthdays or Christmas, aren't allowed to enter military service, and can only marry within the church. Also, unlike mainstream religions, the Jehovah's Witnesses believe they are the only true faith..."

What. The. ****...

Has this reporter ever heard of the Crusades? As far as I know, it was because two [i]mainstream[/i] religions believed they were the only true faith. And most religions, e.g Catholicism don't allow people to marry outside the faith, and plenty of other [i]mainstream[/i] religions don't celebrate Christmas.
This reporter needs to die.

Reporters everywhere are crap it seems. In America journalism is terrible.

Well, duh, reporters are fags.

Are you sure it wasn't a joke?

If so, then complain or something. Get the guy's email address (home address if you can manage it), and ask him about it, it sounds like he has problems.

Trust me, this wasn't a joke. It's from the same kind of top grade reporting that produced: "Smoking kills, but eating ground tobacco saves lives", and "Homosexuality is evil, and the reason Australia is undergoing an AIDS crisis".

Feed them to the snakes.

What the hell station was this on?

Wow, that's even worse than American news reporting.

The Nine Network in Australia.

In America lots of things are terrible.

The great irony of America is this: we want the kick-*** social services that they get in Europe for free, like Medicare, social security, welfare, bankruptcy services, and disability pensions without having to pay heavy amounts of taxes. Let's be honest here: the BIGGEST division between the liberals and the conservatives is this issue of taxes. I have a feeling far less people would give a **** about this whole abortion thing (and ESPECIALLY stem cell research) if the parties didn't use it as a very public screen for the real issue that the parties are at loggerheads over, which is the paying of taxes.

The root of this? The way our public school system teaches us about the American Revolution. I'm convinced that it plants some sort of subliminal stigma in our heads. In the Northeast, and pretty much everywhere else I'm sure, the issues surrounding the American Revolution are dumbed down to essentially this: "The evil King wanted to tax the American people without asking them if it was all right. The Americans didn't WANT to pay taxes. So they rose up in revolution against the Evil King George III to fight for their right to not pay taxes."

Do Americans even realize what taxes do? The way agencies such as the IRS are labeled in the media are as heartless machines taking homes away from jobless 80-year-olds, so the fact that taxes are responsible for the availibility of SO MANY COMFORTS THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED gets lost. And the reason our systems like Social Security are so ****ed up is because the American people don't want to pay enough taxes, and so there simply isn't enough money to fund those things. And then we bitch and moan about how everything in America is all ****ed up. It's ridiculous, because we're so spoiled and yet because of that, every social service is paradoxically substandard compared to the entire rest of the civilized world. The government is NOT a business and so requires donations, and when Americans don't want to donate, we get bull**** like Bush trying to privatise Social Security. Liberals cry foul when that issue comes up on the agenda, but if you think about it, how many other choices does Bush have when he's faced with such an idiotic, stubborn populace and he has enough self-preservation instinct to not want to be impeached?

The way the Civil War is taught to us, on the other hand, varies quite widely throughout the country. In the Northeast, the Civil War happened because of slavery, and is seen as a proactive approach on the part of the Union to ending it. In the South, it happened because of states rights, and is seen as a proactive approach on the part of the Confederacy to preserve them. This enhances the basic division between the two groups of taxpayers by bringing the issues of race, religion, and rights into the question, and so we also have our national bitterness bred into our bones by the fifth grade. If we could have a progressive attitude without all these retarded and divisive ways of viewing our past I'd think we'd be a lot better off. Unfortunately a reliance on common sense is not the prideful American's strongest suit. He'd rather let his belief about what's true take the wheel more often than the facts about what's true.

No need to degrade journalism over it though. This is pretty low grade sh[color=white]it[/color] and nothing to judge an entire field on.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Wow, that's even worse than American news reporting.[/QUOTE]

Probably still better than Fox News.
